Private Elementary School in Philadelphia

At Kids on 12th School, we combine the best of sense-based and project-based learning to create an enriching and dynamic educational experience. Our innovative approach nurtures curiosity, creativity and collaboration — empowering students to become enthusiastic learners and confident leaders.

Our Philosophy

Learning Through SENSE: Our own researched, time tested academic methodology. At its core, Sense is a developmentally balanced teaching method that supports young children's curiosity, socialization and need for physical activity. It is backed by the science of learning and brain development and time tested over 16 years of children who love to learn and to play.

Project-Based Learning: As students grow, we integrate project-based learning to deepen their understanding and application of knowledge. Through hands-on projects, students develop critical thinking, problem-solving and collaboration skills, preparing them for future academic and personal success.

Individualized Education: Every child is unique and our program is tailored to meet the individual needs and interests of each student. We celebrate diversity and encourage self-expression, ensuring that every child feels valued and understood.

 More About our Private Elementary School

Our private elementary program focuses on developing foundational skills in literacy, math, science, and social studies through hands-on projects and interactive activities. Students are encouraged to ask questions, explore their interests and work collaboratively with their peers.

While the public schools scramble to retain gym class funding, Kids on 12th students are on the move every day. Research shows that movement helps students retain learning, which is why our students get structure and play throughout the day.

We offer a variety of enrichment programs, including art, music and physical education. These programs complement our core curriculum and provide opportunities for students to explore their interests and develop new skills.

Learning is supported at each student’s own pace - academically, social-emotionally and physically. We help students expand their knowledge, develop new skills and experience learning in ways that fit who they are.
